Chapter 615 Offering Treasures (Part 1)

Teamfights can be lost, but... Euron must die.

This is the core strategy for the Battle of Blackwater Bay from Igor to Daenerys.

Iron Fleet, who was killed halfway, really messed up the rhythm and plan of the Queen's attack on King's Landing. Even Igor did a lot of calculations but didn't expect that a group of pirates could be so backward in communication technology. He just appeared outside Blackwater Bay as if he had been waiting for a long time, becoming Stannis' de facto life-saver.

Whether it was the North Fleet in White Harbor, or the anti-ship Wildfire bombs in Ice Gorge Harbor that had been improved and matured, he did not bring the South... Losing this game really gave him a headache and trouble for a moment, a pseudonymous general who was addicted to cheating and used to fighting unequally.

But just like the countless times before, when I woke up from a rest after a sleep, my bad thoughts suddenly cleared.

Everyone, from the very beginning, Daenerys was led astray!

She wanted a way to win both the Battle of Blackwater Bay and King's Landing with minimal casualties - and if that simply couldn't be done, wouldn't oneself force her to think of one? come out?
oneself is the supporter of Daenerys, the goal is to push her to Iron Throne, through her to grab status, interests, and achieve ambitions and ambitions; not to be her father, to satisfy all her desires to make this little Queen Beloved!
The way to break the game is actually in his head, not only can it be summed up in one word, he even used it just now in North.

Around the point to fight for help!
Strategy is dead, but people are alive.

The King's Landing is right there, and it won't disappear if he takes it a day later, but Euron, who has already decided to fight against the Queen, even if the timing isn't right this time, the land-grant army will capture the Seven The capital of the Kingdoms will reopen again, heading southwest to deal with the Reach, and sooner or later, it will detour from the sea to the Targaryen Dynasty, which is constantly reborn.

In the future, instead of chasing and catching him like a cat and mouse in the future, it is better to take advantage of this time when he arrives at the door and simply eradicate this trouble!

 …

After persuading Daenerys to give up the naive idea of fighting both sea and land at the same time at the second discussion meeting, there is a lot of room for manipulation, and they have a lot of cards to play in their hands. stand up.

First, Unsullied and the Land Grant artillery sneaked out of the siege line overnight.

After Dorne's army is also clearly under the Queen's command, the number of siege troops outside King's Landing is actually quite sufficient. Unless Stannis leads the army out of the city for a decisive battle, it is absolutely impossible to just stand on the top of the city and use a telescope to observe it. See the difference between 35,000 and 30,000.

Meanwhile, the Dragonstone fleet was transported from the remote Blackwater Bay mouth to Duskendale Harbour, more than a day's journey from King's Landing.

It seems to have given up sea control, but in fact, at the new fleet station, the elite forces secretly mobilized here were packed into the ship, forcibly temporarily removing the Queen's sea power from the "armed fleet" spill things. through excessive enthusiasm escalated into a "big navy" (at least in terms of tonnage and staffing).

Finally, thousands of kilograms of freshly prepared Blackfyre medicines were also transported to Hong Kong by animal power and carried on the "Invincible Iron Bell", filling its most spacious and safe middle cabin, making it incarnate The first self-destruct battleship in the Ice and Fire world made material preparations for Yara Grejoy's unsuccessful surprise attack.

The difference between naval battles and land battles is that morale and numbers do not play a huge role. Hardware, experience and correct command are the keys. A giant ship full of fighting spirits of Knights is beaten by several flexible and experienced leaders. It is normal for a boat to fly a kite and sink. In order to suppress the enemy's strengths and avoid its own weaknesses, the Queen fleet has also made targeted arrangements for the specific tactics of this naval battle. The core can be briefly described as two points: 1. Use the existence of artillery to suppress the opponent's idea of a war of attrition; 2. Relying on the half-fleet full of Unsullied to contain the Stannis Royal Navy, in order to deliberately expose the weak spot and lure the entire Iron Fleet army to attack.

speaking of which is lightweight, but the plan is actually hugely risky.

As long as any one of the links fails or does not develop as expected: for example, the battle strength of Royal Fleet is stronger than expected, for example, the self-destruct battleship is sunk and exploded by the ballista in the middle of the charge, such as Euron was careful not to lead the charge... For whatever reason, the eventual failure to achieve the tactical objective could turn the battle into a major defeat that refreshed all enemies and opponents alike, and would not only destroy the Unsullied and the artillery. Two ace cards, but also to face a large number of potential opponents and wall-riders who have rekindled their confidence and courage.

The danger of this big gamble is so great that even Igor is mentally prepared for failure, so he just offered a strategy to the Queen through Asha's mouth, without personally speaking, recommending it or for it. It's a guarantee and even a military warrant - anyway, with Daenerys' character, he will decide to take risks no matter what.

This move achieves self-protection, but it also reduces the credit to him after winning the bet... Fortunately, Igor already has a lot of military merit in his pocket. , there will be plenty of opportunities to earn more in the future, and it will not hurt to lose a little bit.

＊＊＊

There was no carnival, and no celebration party. In the Queen's siege camp outside the high wall of King's Landing, there was a busy atmosphere and solemn killing aura.

The day before yesterday, when the naval battle broke out in Blackwater Bay, the siege troops did not launch a simultaneous general attack on King's Landing, which must have made Stannis feel that fiercely was playing a trick, but tomorrow, Unsullied and artillery, who are to be transferred to the Navy, will rejoin the attack. When the city front comes, whether it's wind, snow or a knife falling from the sky, it will be the last day of the Baratheon Dynasty's existence.

Everyone is tensing their nerves for the final preparations.

Igor is in charge of commanding the Western Front—Gods, Lions, and Kings in the seven gates of King's Landing, and the three gates of the city wall in the middle. You can relax and get off work, rest and wait for the battle after dawn tomorrow.

"Your Majesty, Yara Grejoy is outside the fort. I'm asking you to meet me."

Why are you here again?

Taking credit? I got the wrong guy.

Thank you? Don't pick the time!
"Put it in, arrange room and board, tell her I'll see her after I take King's Landing."

Igor is busy, he's a pragmatist, and this woman may have something to say about naval warfare The experience is a talent, but if she can help in tomorrow's general attack on King's Landing, he absolutely does not believe it. Unfortunately, after rejecting it once, the woman still came outside the Lord Commander's residence a moment later, still insisting on seeing him.

After dragging for a while, Igor finally relented, seeing that this bitch was indeed taking mortal danger to save oneself's heart.

 …

"Lord Commander, I'm sorry to disturb you late at night, the road from Rosby is really long, and the road after the snow is a little muddy."

Asha came into the house with a sack and apologized.

"It's good to know that I'm disturbed, it's not too early, let's get straight to the point."

This girl obviously wants to get close by calling herself a subordinate, but with her second female Night's Watch identity, it seems that there is nothing wrong with it. Now that she admits the relationship between superiors and subordinates, Igor's answer is not polite... Of course, the tone is definitely not as cold and impatient as before, after all, there is a person who has just made great achievements.

"A trophy that this subordinate thinks only you are entitled to as an adult, and that it is best delivered to you before the attack on King's Landing begins, after traveling all day, from the seaside. Came here." While speaking, the girl lifted the cloth bag in her hand and turned it upside down.

Things hit the ground, making a crisp sound of metal rubbing against each other.

Although the movement was noisy, the contents in her pocket must have been inspected by the guards before she entered the house. Igor sat silently waiting for the other party to explain. Melisandre, the "Guardian of Mage", turned his head and exclaimed after seeing what was on the ground: "Dragonsteel armor?"

It's the Valyria steel armor that Euron is wearing, and Melisandre calls it "Dragonsteel" - this little detail explains: it's probably the genuine Valyria steel used by the Dragonlords within the Valyria Empire in the past Cast instead of exporting the monkey version of Valyrian Steel used by the local nobles who fool people and have a lot of money.

Such a Dragonsteel armor, even in the peak period of the Valyria Empire's most prosperous and powerful, is a treasure that only a few strongest Great Family are eligible to own, and its value is enough to buy a small kingdom. And after the apocalypse, it became a priceless and marketless legend, which only existed in records... Before Euron appeared wearing it, the world didn't even have rumors about it, let alone witnessed it.

And now, is such a Supreme Treasure, not only lying quietly on the floor in front of oneself's desk, but also listening to the owner's tone, or to give it to oneself! ?
Asha didn't answer Melisandre's words, but threw away the sack and picked up what was poured out in both hands - it was a scaled armor, and it looked as black as ink in the dim light of the room, but With a slightly flickering golden light, what else could it be if it wasn't a Dragonsteel armor?
With the same expression on his face, but his heart couldn't calm down, Igor stood up from behind the desk, walked around to the front, and looked at this treasure carefully with Melisandre who also approached.

Night's Watch also wears black clothed, but this scale is different, its color is so deep that it seems to absorb light, if not the edges of each scale that make up the whole are flashing with red gold, and there are some clear on it. Visible patterns and symbols, when viewed from a distance, it is as inky black as if a piece of drawing was deducted from the field of vision. Melisandre reached out to touch it, but Asha handed it directly to her.

"This is more than just a Dragonsteel armor." Melisandre held the scale armor with one hand and caressed its surface, his fingertips brushed the glyph on it, without concealing his surprise, "It still has Several protective spells have been instilled in an incredible way. Not only are swords and guns inaccessible, but they can also block common curse spells. As long as the wearer still has magic power in the body... Damn, is this the only one? Helmet, face armor, What about gloves and bottoms?"

"I don't know, I've never seen Crow's Eye wear it, and most likely he didn't get it either. It's good to have, you're asking too much!" Asha rolled the eyes at the witch, took back the scales, and handed it into Igor's hands with an irresistible smug look.

It's very light.

This is Igor's first single thought after getting it. It's a bit reckless waste of natural resources. He really doesn't know anything about spells, so he can only draw conclusions about this scale armor based on its physical characteristics. It includes the upper torso and two arms, and it weighs less than ten pounds in total. It can be lifted with one little finger. Compared with the breastplate made of steel sheets on the body, it is almost nothing, but it still has Unparalleled protective ability... both light and strong, for a coward like him who can't wait to sleep without taking off his protective gear, it is simply gospel.

Melisandre really has reason to regret and ask, if such armor can make up the whole set of the body, wouldn't the wearer be impervious to sword and spear Magic difficult to invade, like opening invincibility?
(If you can get this scale armor before the war, then the number of "Lightbringers" will probably not be 77, but 777.)
Get rid of this somewhat funny idea, Igor frowned, curious: "The version I saw this morning was that you sank the Euron into the seabed and drowned... Was the description wrong in the battle report, or did you find the needle in the haystack and fish the body of Crow's Eye out of Blackwater Bay?"
